The Ninth Amendment to the Constitution is the strongest statement therein that powers not expressly granted the State are retained as rights of the People. The State has misconstrued, misrepresented, ignored, and denied the People's rights by elimination of protections reserved alone to them, not recognized by the Supreme Court, the Legislative, and worst the Executive Branch in the illegitimate exercise of draconian powers which unlawfully disparage the inalienable rights of the People.

Friday, 6 April 2017, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Growing unease with President Trump's methodically worsening authoritarian tendencies with at least tacit approval emboldening those with racist and fascist proclivities at home and among autocrats and de facto dictators abroad as Trump shows himself utterly devoid of genuine coherent concern for the protection of human rights in which the United States long has taken a global leadership role is not devolving rapidly enough in those best placed to most immediately remove him from power despite such an urgent need being recognized by a great many others as necessary to do so as to avert some unpredictable grave national consequence(s).
Trump has lurched daily only further into the vast territory of greatly increased potential risks to the country as an impulsive erratic now largely "unmoored" President entirely consumed with serving the interests of his own narcissistic malignancy rather than those of the entire country of over 300 million he has sworn to govern selflessly while serving and protecting the constitutional democracy of the Nation. Yet instead the President foremost by his own example followed by that of his family and closest allies has reset standards for outrageous norms of tolerated senior executive government corruption, abuse of power, obstruction of justice and likely many far worse as yet unexposed activities at unprecedented levels which have come to light at least several times weekly as Trump manifests himself capable at an any point of recklessly unleashing some near limitless series of events with potentially disastrous consequences for the nation without apparent opportunity to stop him.
Under the circumstance of the United States actually having legitimately (possibly) by a minority of more than three million less citizens having voted this man into power, the warning four years earlier of retired Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter speaking of what ends a democracy seems eerily prescient. Justice Souter was appointed by President George H.W. Bush and was serving on the Court when it declared Bush v. Gore by a 5-4 decision to award George W. Bush the 2000 election presidential victory despite all the votes not yet having been counted. Justice Souter was on the losing side of the Court's vote being one of the four Justices voting against Bush being named president. Justice Souter resigned from the Court slightly over eight years later after President Barack Obama was sworn into office.
Back in his beloved New Hampshire after retirement Justice Souter rarely participated in public appearances. Justice Souter however had significant concern about the issue of "civic ignorance" and Americans need to remedy this in order not to lose their republic. Rather than a concern about a coup or some other means of force Souter clearly articulated that it was not that but the danger to democracy of the people falling for anyone who claimed he "alone could fix it" and warned that that "was what should keep you up at night." Souter quoted Benjamin Franklin leaving the Constitutional Convention having been asked on the street what kind of government the country would have under the Constitution. To which Franklin famously replied, "A republic, if you can keep it."
Readers interested in more information on Justice Souter's propehetic statements (at least as to what Americans should watch out for) can go to either link below whether the first link to an entry in the Maddow Blog with a further video link therein with a brief introduction to Justice Souter conversing in an American Academy of Sciences interview or the second link directly to that short pertinent video showing Justice Souter being interviewed.
The Law Is Coming, Mr. Trump

A Rigged System - They don’t want to turn over Documents to Congress. What are they afraid of? Why so much redacting? Why such unequal “justice?” At some point I will have no choice but to use the powers granted to the Presidency and get involved!
